The play will open in Bovard on April 1 for a five-night run.
Wampus Hits Street
Campus Chicks Agog At Calendar Cuties
Wampum west on sale this morning to give the coeds of SC a thrill such as they haven’t had since veterans stop ped wearing their combat ribbons on campus.
Printed in the center of the magazine on Police-Gaz-ette-pink stock was a leap year calendar sporting four pages of pinup boys with Atlas-inspired physiques. Biceps bulged from every page. The only incongruous note was struck by the SC model used for the June illustration, but it’s doubted that he was noticed among the beaming brutes.
After a week-long battle with the censors over whether the lightly clad pinups would in any way endanger the morals of innocent college students, Willie the Wampbird recklessly put the issue on sale without official sanction. The overwhelming enthusiasm with which the magazine and calendar have been received may prevent any disciplinary action being taken, but Willie left early this morning for what he termed “a much needed rest” at his secret aerie in the KUSC antenna.
Reaction to the novel calendar (which Bob Read adapted for the Wampus from an original nightmare by alumna J. Bourbon White) was especially favorable among the sweater and skirt set.
“Gee,” sighed Alpha Gam Katie Connolly as she stared hungrily, “W h y can't my dates be built like that?”
Recovering quickly from a faint caused by overexposure to 60 much brawn, Bobby Jo Scott organized a band of Alpha Phis, who picketed seven fraternities, waving copies of the Wampus.
“You'll always be right under my pillow, you great, big chunks of virility, you,” Astrid Carlson, OAPi, was heard to murmer to the mascular muggs. The university health service reports having treated 14 cases of severe swooning so far this morning.
Nor were the male readers of Wampus forgotten. On page nine they found pictured a half dozen of Troy's cutest chicks pleading for a little attention. In addition, the February issue boasted an Esquire-like cover by Harris, a choice collection of jokes culled from other college magazines, and the usual abundance of scintillating slander, stories, and sketches.

Long to Pose Atom Question
“In 1942 man set off the first chain reaction in his quest for knowledge of the tiny atom. What will happen in the world if the tremendous new weapon, the atomic bomb, is not controlled morally with a spirit of reverence?”
This question was posed by Dr.
Wilbur H. Long, professor of philosophy, concerning his lecture at 4:15 in Bowne hall tomorrow. “The Concept of Power in Western Culture,” which will open the 36th semi-annual philosophy forum series.
During ancient and medieval times power was “moral and spiritual values, personally identified with man’s ability to rise above animality,” he said. In the 17th ! wntinS team of Rodgers and Hart, century, power switched from the I start by writing lyrics for

With an exotic South Seas atmosphere. the musical comedy provides a vehicle for many kinds of amateur talent. Singers, dancers, and those with a yen for histrionics are all needed for the production, and. Langdon states, there is room for all. since the show will have a cast of about 75 members.
‘Far from being restricted to drama and music majors.” Langdon said, “the varsity show is definitely all-University. In previous shows, leading parts have been filled with students majoring in such subjects as chemistry and pre-med.”
Langdon added that a good lyricist is still needed. He pointed out the potential value of such experience in writing lyrics in a student show.
“Few people know that the late, great Lorenz Hart, of the show-

First IR Meeting To Honor Chandi
Honoring the memory of Mohandas K. Ghandi. the International Relations club will hold its first meeting of the semester Tuesday, according to Joe Capalbo, president
“It is only proper that our club, interested as it is in all world affairs, should pay homage to this great world personality,’’ said Capalbo.
At the last meeting of the club. Yussef Meher Ali, Indian Socialist leader and personal friend of Ghandi, emphasized the tremendous spiritual hold that Ghandi had upon the people of India.
The meeting will be held in 318 Student Union at 2:15 p.m. All' students and faculty members are invited to attend.
Langdon says that an innovation is being made in the rehearsal system in this year’s show, in that the singing chorus, the dancing chorus, and the principles will have their rehearsals at different times or in different places.
“This will prevent confusion and unnecessary waste of time in working on the production,’’ he concluded.

SC’s long-suffering student-motorists were dealt a severe but shortlasting setback Friday afternoon when Charles MacBeth, assisting university business manager, announced a series of severe special parking restrictions that will be imposed on the campus area during the four-day stay of the Freedom Train, Feb. 23-26.
Mr. MacBeth made the announcement in conjunction with plans of the Los Angeles police department to block off certain streets in th« campus area during the American Heritage foundation celebration next week.
EXPOSITION OUT
Exposition boulevard will be completely closed to all vehicle traffic between 8:30 a.m. and 10 pm. each day between Figueroa street and Vermont avenue.
University avenue will be closed between Exposition boulevard and 37th street, as will Hoover street No parking will be allowed in the closed areas.
Students accustomed to park on Menlo avenue between Exposition boulevard and Santa Barbara avenue will find their parking privileges revoked until the Freedom Train leaves Los Angeles.
NO PARKING LOT
Perhaps the biggest blow to students was the announcement that the tmiversity parking lot on the souhtwest comer of Exposition boulevard and Menlo avenue will be reserved for the exclusive use of Mayor Fletcher Bowrons citizen's committee for the Freedom Train.
Faculty members using the parking lots to the east of Bridge hall and to the west of the Dental building must enter these lots through the driveway between Elisabeth von KleinSmid hall and Hancock hall.
SEES CONGESTION Mr. MacBeth explained that this temporary change will cause a great deal of congestion for the four days as the driveway is only large enough for one car at a time to pass* through. A special entrance from the EVK-Hancock driveway will be cut into the parking lot adjacent to the Dental building.

Rules Govern New Croups
Rules governing the tentative planning for new organizations on the campus, were defined Friday by Milt Dobkin, chairman of the ASSC rules committee.

Approval or disapproval of the controversial question of whether SC is to affiliate with the National Students association is expected Wednesday when the ASSC senate meets.
NSA is a national organization of students desiring to maintain academic freedom and student rights, as well as to stimulate and improve democratic student governments, to develop better educational standards, facilities, and teaching methods, the preamble to the organization’s constitution states.
Another aim is to improve student cultural, social, and physical
welfare and to promote international understanding and fellowship. The NSA fosters the recognition
of the rights and responsibilities of students to the school, the com munity, and to preserve the interests and integrity of the government and constitution of the United States.
By eventual elimination of all forms of discriminatory educational systems anywhere in the United States, the NSA seeks to secure and maintain equal rights for all people, and to secure equal opportunities for education at all levels.
In view of the complex nature of
the problem, with its diversity ol problems throughout the United States, and the limitations imposed by present state rights, statutes, and laws, the NSA states as its policy to take action on the national, regional, and campus levels, through its corresponding organizations, to implement its stated principles with regard to the legal limitation involved.
In attempting to preserve and extend those conditions which the NSA deems indispensable to the full achievement of educational objectives, and with fuU cognizance of the responsibilities and obligations which would arise from any
assertion of fundamental rights.
The NSA Bill of Rights also includes such sanctions as educational rights, plus social, political, and economic freedom as a citizen, and participation in local, national, or international organizations.
Application of these rights are based in accordance with recognition by the school or college. Individual schools would be responsible for faculty advisers, policies and procedures.
These, along with other policies of the NSA and its organizational setup will be discussed thoroughly by the senate Wednesday.
